This dispatch is from the not so distant past.

It is time to see a patient. We flock together as a team: attending physician, a handful of resident physicians, a cohort of medical students, the hospital floor’s charge nurse, the bedside nurse, a respiratory therapist, a pharmacist, a pharmacy student and maybe a few others. We gather outside the patient’s room and are about to enter.
